The Campaign for a Clean Indian River Lagoon
ORCA has created a Campaign for a Clean Indian River Lagoon. The plan includes simple steps; first we will create a pollution gradient map of the entire 156 miles of the Indian River Lagoon. Then we will install 50 ORCA Kilroy™ water monitoring devices in the lagoon. With these two steps, sources of pollution can be identified and then be corrected or eliminated and nature can be restored. To learn more about ORCA’s Campaign for a Clean Indian River Lagoon.

The Technology Behind Those Amazing Giant Squid Images
The first footage of the Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux) in its natural habitat was filmed by ORCA's deep sea camera, Medusa! Dr. Edie Widder was one of the three Scientists involved in the Discovery Channel expedition that captured the Giant Squid on film in its natural habitat for the first time in history. The electronic jellyfish (e-jelly) that she and ORCA engineers developed, attracted the Giant Squid and made it possible to get this special video footage. This e-jelly imitates certain bioluminescent displays, like that of deep-sea jellyfish. More on this story: CBS Evening News | CBS This Morning | CNN

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
As of July 1, 2017, the State of Florida has reduced the funding required to maintain ORCA's Kilroy Monitoring Network. This funding cut has resulted in the reduction of the state funded Kilroys from 25 to 8. Your generous support is needed more now than ever to help us carry on our vital research. Please consider making a donation today. All donations are tax deductible. ORCA is a non profit 501(C)(3).
